This shouldn't be necessary - you can start Explorer directly from
Task Manager (taskbar and Start Menu are part of Explorer)

Looks like there's some incompatibility between 32bit Explorer and DEP
(Data Execution Prevention). Last time I tried this, I haven't had DEP
enabled yet, but when I try it now, 32bit Explorer crashes after a few
seconds with a DEP error (though until it crashes, the taskbar
operates normally).
